The OSO Dyno Room
#1
![Default](/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
I am always interested in seeing the dyno results for various engine combinations put together by OSO members. People trying to decide on a combination are too, but searching the entire tech Q & A for any dyno information on your engine is a slow, hit and miss process. And good information gets buried.
What do you think about asking Steve to create a subsection called "The Dyno Room" where only threads with dyno results could be started? It would be a great way for members to share information on successful combinations that have been proven on the dyno.
So when you are in the Dyno Room section, every thread would be titled with the engine CID and the HP of the engine, perhaps followed by some other identifier like "HP500". The first post would describe the combination tested and attach the dyno results as a table or graph.
General threads about engines should still go in the general Q & A section, to keep the dyno information "concentrated" and easy to access. We want to be able to look at the index of the Dyno Room section and just see engine CID and HP. That doesn't mean you can't ask any question you want within a dyno thread, just don't clutter up the index with general questions.
Over time, this section could become a great resource. What do you think?

I think it would be a great idea if all the dynos were calibrated to the same specs and everyone was honest. All too often, ive seen dyno claims that stretch the limits of believablility.

I think it's a good idea, at some point you would have enough engines and horsepower listed it should be easy to spot the BS. It would help anyone that's looking for a specific hp, choose the right combo the first time.

I'd guess that dyno calibration is very seldom the problem with the data. The correction for standard atmosphere is most often the problem.
I'd like to see a dyno room here. I wouldn't mind being a moderator in a section like that.
